Aviva Gaskill, PhD Welcome to my private practice webpage. My practice is located in Wynnewood, PA & I accept Medicare Have you been feeling down, not like the old you?

Do you find it hard to sleep at night because thoughts race through your head? Perhaps you are finding it tough to deal with your boss, co-workers or your loved ones. Whatever difficulties and distress you may be facing, you have just taken the first steps towards improving your life. By working together, you and I can develop a collaborative relationship full of warmth and lacking in judgment that you may have faced. We will develop and environment of safety and trust to foster your growth and experience of more fulfilling connections. In my practice, we work together, using tools from my training to help to make your life happier and more satisfying. I work from an integrative perspective, meaning that I have been trained in a wide variety of psychological techniques and will combine them as needed to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. I have worked with children and adults in settings including in-patient, partial hospitalization and out-patient, rehabilitation centers, university counseling centers, and long-term care, VA and primary care clinics. I have extensive experience helping individuals cope with acute, terminal, and chronic medical problems including cancer, pain, insomnia, Parkinsons and multiple sclerosis. Please note that I am currently accepting new patients in my Pennsylvania practice. However, I am no longer accepting new patients in my New York practice.
